S10 does not support SATA hot swap unless they are SATA drives behind
a SAS controller.
Gack!
I don't want to sound *too* pissy about this, but I'd be a lot happier
if somebody had thought to mention this when I was first asking about
issues I'd face building a home disk server on an SATA hot-swap box.
Because now I've invested $2k in this box that apparently can't really
do what I want, at least yet.
I see suggestions on what might be a usable workaround (basically
telling zfs manually to stop using the disk before physically removing
it), and a hope that full hot-swap might appear in a later release. I
don't suppose Express or Community Edition might already have released
the bits needed for SATA hot-swap?
I'll certainly try out the workaround, and if it does work, that's
really a pretty adequate workaround; mostly what it loses is the cool
demo potential of simply casually ripping the drive out.
